http://www.miscmedia.com/4-7-00.html

Extractions: Hammin' Eggers THERE'S AN AUTHOR named Dave Eggers. He just put out a slightly-fictionalized memoir, immodestly titled A Heartbreaking Work of Staggering Genius. It's gotten a lot of press attention. Some reviewers criticize Eggers's audacity for daring to publish his life story at age 29; and then for writing it in a modified PoMo, self-reflexive, hip-ironic manner. Other reviewers praise all that. For the most part, neither group of reviewers seems to know what Eggers's book is really about. It's not about Eggers being a smarty-pants hipster. It's about his journey through that stance and finding a way beyond it. The plot in brief: Eggers is a 21-year-old college grad who returns to his home in a patrician Chicago suburb to tend to his cancer-striken mom. Only his dad turns out to also have the Big C, and both parents die within weeks of one another.
A Heartbreaking Work Staggering Genius By Dave Eggers - 03/12/2001
Monday, March 12, 2001. a heartbreaking work staggering genius by DaveEggers Interesting books about Generation X are few and far between.
http://www.mndaily.com/daily/2001/03/12/news/new9/

Extractions: Monday, March 12, 2001 a heartbreaking work staggering genius by Dave Eggers Interesting books about Generation X are few and far between. Mind you, authors of this age group can and do put out great work, but it usually isn't about quintessential X-ish things playing Sega or watching The A-Team , for instance. Somehow, it just doesn't seem right to find the banal details of digital life molded into literature. It's easier to look elsewhere, to read science fiction or novels from the Third World, genres that have nothing to do with shopping malls and pop culture. Nevertheless, Dave Eggers' first book, A Heartbreaking Work of Staggering Genius , confronts the frightening spectacle of a young man coming of age in the '90s, and it does so successfully. Amazingly enough, Eggers does write about Sega, The A-Team , MTV and a whole array of pop culture garbage without becoming trite or boring. Because he never waxes apologetic about his subject matter, he achieves something like the Generation X equivalent to F. Scott Fitzgerald's fiction of the Jazz Generation.

dave eggers says elizabeth klemm is real, autographs book, talks about mcsweeneys. aha!dave eggers does not believe it is the actual cover at first, but it is.
http://phaxda.com/eggers/

Extractions: What the heck is all this? A quick summary so we're all up to date: David Foster Wallace wrote a story entitled "Mr. Squishy" for Issue #5 of McSweeneys (a very good magazine of sorts). He did so under a pseudonym, Elizabeth Klemm. Many people on the David Foster Wallace email list (a fine group of readers if there ever was one) immediately surmised this story was indeed the work of our Infinitely Jesting favorite. The truth was not revealed for some time, and Dave Eggers (the editor of McSweeneys, among other things) insisted Klemm was real. I knew better. And I still haven't received anything from McSweeneys. http://www.mcsweeneys.net/join/available/issue5.html has the proof. The original wallace-l discussion is also available at Several people have complained that the non-caps format of this book appearance description makes it difficult to read. They are right. This small-letter obsession is a bad habit, and I apologize. I'm going to start using more capital letters. If the no-caps format bothers you, try the McSweenifier Version , which makes it appear as though this piece appeared in McSweeneys, which, as we all know, has the most reader-friendly format design on the internet. Thank you.

Extractions: "An Evening with Dave Eggers" was hosted by The Webb , on September 12, 2000. With the help of the special events committee (Alice Benitez, Baba Brooks, Joy Johnson, Wendy Kelly, Alice Norton, and Beth Sundberg) this was the most successful special event in Webb-Waring's 76 year history. The Webb's Chairman, Amy Slothower was instrumental in bringing Dave Eggers to Denver, after she read A Heartbreaking Work of Staggering Genius, a book based on the death of his parents from un-related cancers. Nearly 200 people gathered in the garden of one of the Board of Trustee's home and enjoyed cocktails and hors d'ouevres, followed by an energizing and interactive talk and a booksigning by Mr. Eggers. The talented 29 year old, committed young author pledged a staggering $100,000 to the Institute. The evening was the culmination of a two- day visit by Mr. Eggers, where he was able to tour the Institute and meet the scientists and the director, Dr. John Repine. The Board of Trustees, the scientists, and the staff are grateful to Mr. Eggers and The Webb for this most special evening.

http://www.kottke.org/02/08/020806what_dave_eg.html

Extractions: The New Yorker has an interview with Dave Eggers about his upcoming book (fiction this time). Here's an excerpt about San Francisco: "Living in the Bay Area, you're faced with more homelessness than probably any other place in America. So you have to be ready to deal with their plight all the time, and you have to make dozens of decisions each day about who to give money to and who not to. That's a lot of pressure, every day, and sometimes ten times a block, if you're walking down, say, Haight, or lower Geary. And you really do make these decisions in the most random ways." Eggers is also editing the upcoming The Best American Nonrequired Reading 2002 . The publisher describes the book as "a selection for young people of the best literature from mainstream and alternative American periodicals: from The New Yorker to Jane, Rolling Stone to The Onion, Vibe to various magazines, zines, and journals that, if youre over thirty, youve never heard of." I wonder if the book will include any writing from the Internet? (Probably not...I've got half a mind to pitch a Best Online Writing 2002 book to Houghton Mifflin. There's a lot of online-only writing that deserves a wider audience.)

http://www.pookie.tv/rant.html

Extractions: Subject: [Pavement] Dave Eggers vs. indie cred www.mcsweeneys.net Now, there was a time when such a questionalbeit probably without the colloquial spinwould have originated from my own brain. Since I was thirteen, sitting in my orange-carpeted bedroom in ostensibly cutting-edge Lake Forest, Illinois, subscribing to the Village Voice and reading the earliest issues of Spin, I thought I had my ear to the railroad tracks of avant garde America. (Laurie Anderson, for example, had grown up only miles away!) I was always monitoring, with the most sensitive and well-calibrated apparatus, the degree of selloutitude exemplified by any given artistmusical, visual, theatrical, whatever. I was vigilant and merciless and knew it was my job to be so. However. Now, at the concert the night before, Wayne Coyne, the lead singer, had himself addressed this issue, and to great effect. After playing much of their new album, the band paused and he spoke to the audience. I will paraphrase what he said: But this sellout manual serves only the lazy and small. Those who bestow sellouthood upon their former heroes are driven to do so by, first and foremost, the unshakable need to reduce. The average one of usa taker-in of various and constant media, is absolutely overwhelmedas he or she should bewith the sheer volume of artistic output in every conceivable medium given to the world every dayit is simply too much to begin to process or comprehendand so we are forced to try to sort, to reduce. We designate, we label, we diminish, we create heirarchies and categories.

Extractions: February 22, 2000. Timothy McSweeney's Quarterly Concern is the new new thing in the world of letters. It's a quirky publication: a 19th century-style literary journal aimed at Gen'xers, Monty Python fans, and readers of marginalia. It's also a refreshing resurrection of an old old thing: a rag that relies on good writing, long form prose, experimental fiction, illustration and humor. McSweeney's is the other brain child of Dave Eggers , a 29 year old writer who's already created one critically acclaimed but financially bankrupt publication called MIGHT McSweeney's may fair no better than MIGHT , but Eggers' oddball venue is attracting some of the best young writers today, without paying them a dime. The McSweeney manifesto believes in indulgence, eschews the recent work of Saul Bellow, and relies on the strength of numbers, provided those numbers are very, very small. He's also recently published his first book - his life story which he had the brass to call "A Heartbreaking Work of Staggering Genius." It's a postmodern examination of everything: life, death, big brotherhood, parenting, and the state of American literature.

BY JASON ANDERSON This is the unexpurgated version of the interview referred to in Jason Anderson's article, How not to be cool: Lit phenom Dave Eggers fights the backlash 1. How did you come to decide that McSweeney's would become a larger publishing concern? What sort of lessons have you learned during the publication of AHWOSG that you're bringing to McSweeney's Books did you learn what not to do? The main thing we're trying to do is to shrink the publishing machine to its essential elements, bringing more control and benefits to the authors. Too often in standard New York publishing, the process favors and revolves around what the publishers and their marketing people want and believe, and treats the authors like, well, raving morons. We sort of think authors should drive every last element of the publishing of their books. They know best, invariably, because they're the ones who know/meet/connect with their readers. So we're just trying to act on that, while also making high-quality hardcover books more affordable. 2. What difficulties are you already experiencing? Do you find that the publishing industry just moves too slowly?

Extractions: IS DAVE EGGERS TRYING TO BREAK OUR HEARTS? SEARCHING FOR ANSWERS ABOUT THE BALLOONIST. By Steve Delahoyde Dave Eggers is returning to the world of magazines with a secretive new title known only as "The Balloonist." If you weren't paying close attention last week, you might have missed it in the pages of the New York Observer's by-the-numbers on Jack White of the The White Stripes. The proverbial beans about The Balloonist were spilled when the Observer asked White about his upcoming interview for the magazine. Although the passage itself was very short and revealed nothing about this new endeavor, underground literary circles were abuzz at the idea that Eggers would return to his roots. After all, Eggers founded the now-defunct satirical magazine called Might and spent time working as an editor at Esquire . And of course, there's his best-selling autobiographical book "A Heartbreaking Work of Staggering Genius," his self-published novel "You Shall Know Our Velocity" and McSweeney's , which started it all.

A HEARTBREAKING WORK OF STAGGERING GENIUS By Dave Eggers
A HEARTBREAKING WORK OF STAGGERING GENIUS dave eggers Vintage Books Young AdultISBN 0375725784 485 pages. Fortunately, dave eggers is well up to the task.
http://www.teenreads.com/reviews/0375725784.asp

Extractions: Naming his first book A HEARTBREAKING WORK OF STAGGERING GENIUS is an audacious move that puts an author in the unenviable position of having a lot to live up to. Fortunately, Dave Eggers is well up to the task. He'd have to be to consider writing his memoirs at the tender age of 29. You're lead to wonder what someone that age could possibly have lived through that would be worth telling. To start with, when Eggers was 21, both of his parents died five weeks apart, of separate cancers, leaving him with custody of his eight-year-old brother Toph (short for Christopher). Both brothers soon move, with their older sister Beth, from Chicago to San Francisco, where Eggers and some high school friends start the alternative magazine Might. But even in San Francisco they can't escape tragedy: a friend tries to commit suicide, and another friend's girlfriend dies suddenly. Dave and Toph now live in Brooklyn, where Eggers publishes McSweeney's, a literary quarterly. Throughout the story, Eggers cuts the pathos with a quirky wit, keeping the reader alternately crying and laughing. His unique situation of being young, hip, single, and a parent leads to some memorable scenes, such as the one in which he tries to score at Open House at Toph's school. "My goal, a goal I honestly thought was fairly realistic, was to meet an attractive single mother and have Toph befriend the mother's son so we can arrange playdates, during which the mother and I will go upstairs and screw around while the kids play outside."
